Le Magasin des horizons, Contemporary art center in Grenoble, France

Le Magasin des horizons is a contemporary art center in a 3,000 m² industrial hall built in Paris in 1900 by Gustave Eiffel's workshops for the World's Fair, then dismantled and reassembled in Grenoble by Bouchayer-Viallet. Its rough stone facade rises to a central peak above tall arched windows, and two blue doors carry the white word "MAGASIN". Inside, a long glass roof section lights the exhibition spaces.

The hall was built in Paris in 1900 by Gustave Eiffel's workshops for the World's Fair, then bought, dismantled and reassembled in Grenoble by Bouchayer-Viallet as factory A, a boiler-making workshop for hydroelectric equipment, used for sixty years. Architect Patrick Bouchain converted it into an exhibition venue, inaugurated on 26 April 1986 by culture minister François Léotard as part of the Grands Travaux.

The venue displays works by international artists across multiple media formats, drawing visitors interested in exploring contemporary artistic approaches. The spaces are used to present installations, videos, and performance art that encourage reflection and dialogue with the public.

The hall sits near the cours Berriat, in the Bouchayer-Viallet district; the entrance is marked by the large blue doors bearing the word "MAGASIN". The 3,000 m² interior is organised around a central "rue" that structures the visit, and the exhibition layout is rearranged with each quarterly show, so the route through the rooms differs from one season to the next.

The venue also hosts a training and research program focused on curatorial practices and societal topics. This educational initiative makes the location more than just an exhibition space, transforming it into a place for learning and artistic development.
